[Michlib-l] Answers to my question, "amazon Prime - do you subscribe?

[aldenlib at torchlake.com]

Thanks for the quick responses, guys and gals. Of 11 that emailed me in
the first hour: 

2 suggest instead of Prime, I open a business account with free 2-day
shipping (I found out from amazon that you need a minimum $49 order for
free 2-day shipping though). 

4 pay for a Prime account ($99 a year), and made comments that it's a
reasonable price for the service, and getting new videos cheaply on
their release dates, for example (I'm going to use that one!). Executive
decision was also mentioned. 

1 has her personal Prime account linked to the library's business
account, so she gets free shipping both places and has two payment
options at checkout; an amazon rep suggested it. 

3 have regular accounts without Prime and group their purchases for free
shipping over $35 (there are some exceptions), but it often takes more
than 2 days to receive the items 

1 is wondering about Prime as well and will be reading this. 

Thanks again! 

Sue Riegler, Director
